Oh yes, I'm still working in my workroom/home office, and I am having a ball setting it up in such an organized fashion!
You saw this mirror in the "before" state already, but here it is again.
It was originally on top of an old dresser, but the brackets that were to hold it in place were broken. Of course, I had big plans for it, just not sure what the big plans were.
I've been hanging on to it for a year and a half now, waiting for that right spot to jump out at me. Looking at the two bookcases with the old piano bench (newly re-slipcovered in the same fabric as my dining room chairs, by the Sewing Queen of norther Nevada!) I knew I had finally found that special spot.
The first step was to tape it all off....
Oh, and I had plans to add an appliqué to the top area that had been broken off before I got the mirror.
I primed it with my favorite..Kilz water based primer....
A couple more coats and I was ready to antique the piece....
I added the antiqued appliqué (I always antique appliqués before attaching them, and then do a bit of touch up)and I hung it on the wall....
I sat back and admired the look. *Sigh* Nice. Just the look I was after. And it didn't cost me anything but my time.
Hmmm, now, what am I going to do with the ugly mdf board on the backs of those bookcases?
